Subject: Melees

The melees (especially the AR) are kind of boring because it's so easy to kill people with it and often both players die. I was thinking of a block type sytem for melees. The melees would be instant kill, but if you blocked by tapping B at the perfect time you could absorb some of the impact. But it wouldn't be like sword fights in halo 3 because if you block about three hits you would still die. Also add minimal lunge.

You can't just "block" a force strong enough that can destroy your shields with one shot and break your spine in the next.

The idea of having a melee being instant kill even with a block feature is a terrible idea. I think we need new weapons that encourage people to not just run straight at each other, holding the right trigger and trying to beat each other down.

What kind of weapon would you make?

No, but you could avert the force. Like blocking real life, it hurts but doesn't hurt as bad.

If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

A pike you can use to impale people that come running straight at you. :D

bungie has proven that a bunch of monkeys sitting in front of keyboards can randomly type out a masterpiece. the thing is, when you go to play the masterpiece, you cant help but notice all the monkey s**t smeared all over it.

it gets real old having to wait months for someone like mlg to clean off all the monkey poo.

instead of running at each other and punching each other to death in two hits, you run at each other and block each other to death in 3 hits? and have a 1 hit ko if they arent looking?

we have that. except the 2 hit kill is quicker and less -blam!-.
